BOCA RATON, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Amerihome Healthcare is excited to announce that due to a recent new hire, it will expand its geographic reach and operations. For more than 10 years, it's been a leader in Palm Beach's home health care industry and will now service Broward County as well to focus on in-home health care staffing.

Josh Andreacci, the new operations director, brings years of experience to Amerihome in terms of management and operations. He plans to work to maintain the company culture which prides itself on being an owner-operated business with an impeccable track record and 100 percent customer satisfaction.

This growth comes at the ideal time. COVID-19 made many rethink the idea of a retirement home and revisit how they could stay in their own home and not only extend their quality of life, but their safety too.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average employment growth in all industries is projected at 7 percent. The in-home healthcare industry is currently projected to grow by 54 percent and add 738,200 jobs. That's pretty breathtaking. And, U.S. expenditures on in-home health care are projected to hit $186.8 billion by 2027.

Amerihome Healthcare, which specializes in Alzheimer's, dementia care, palliative care, companion services, light house chores and daily tasks is poised for this growth. It's ready to provide affordable, quality in-home care service for the elderly and senior population in South Florida.

"Our support staff and operation resemble that of a large corporation, but unlike a large corporation, we give clients truly personalized care. We offer peace of mind and affordable service," Tina Andreacci, founder and CEO, says. "Amerihome will begin scaling operations with an aggressive multimedia campaign that encompasses TV and social media starting towards the end of 2022."

SAN DIEGO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Consumer Advocates for RCFE Reform (CARR) announces that California Governor Newsom signed the Keep Our Seniors Safe Act, a part of SB 172 (Portantino) which was signed into law on 12 October, 2019.

The Keep Our Seniors Safe Act strengthens the Health and Safety Code by adding safe gun storage requirements for firearms retained by residential care facilities for the elderly (RCFE - also known as assisted living facilities).

CARR sponsored this common-sense safe gun storage legislation in recognition that an estimated 70% of assisted living residents have a diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease or related dementias (ADRD). Dementia is a primary reason families seek an assisted living placement for a family member.

Many assisted living facilities are licensed to accept and retain residents having mild to severe cognitive impairment. Common characteristics include disorientation, confusion, changes in mood or personality and impaired judgment. CARR's public records' research evidenced that some assisted living facilities were storing firearms in unlocked desk drawers, or allowing residents to retain weapons in their rooms.

The characteristics and associated behaviors of a resident with cognitive impairment, coupled with unsecured weapons inside an RCFE posed an unreasonable risk of harm to residents, families and any third party working in or visiting an assisted living facility.

The Keep Our Seniors Safe Act fills the statutory and regulatory gaps concerning firearm storage by requiring weapons to be centrally stored in the facility, in a locked gun safe meeting the regulatory standards established by the California Department of Justice.

The statute advances CARR's consumer-driven agenda focused on reducing health and safety risks to residents living in California's licensed assisted living facilities.

"This legislation (Chapter 840) gives the state's agency (Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division DSS/CCLD) responsible for licensing assisted living facilities definitive and unequivocal standards for determining compliant gun storage," said CARR's President, Christine Murphy.

This is CARR's second piece of legislation to become law; the first was AB 1523 (Atkins) requiring assisted living facilities to carry liability insurance.
